Correct Weight Assignment for 3 Server Farm

All -
I have a 3 server farm, 2 boxes are the same 1x 2.2ghz proc 16gb mem, the other box is 2x 2.2ghz with 32gb ram.  What would be the correct weight assignment for this scenario?  I am currently going 75/75/100.  Is this correct?  Obviously
I want more users on the server with more resources.

Hi,
It is best to test and measure over time to determine roughly how many more sessions the most powerful box can handle (compared to the others) and adjust the weight accordingly.  Specifically, in terms of CPU and RAM it may be twice as
powerful on the surface, however, this may or may not translate to it being able to handle twice as many sessions as one of the other two.
Keeping the above in mind, I think the starting point you are looking for is 25/25/50 for the weights.

  • Is it possible to use single ssl certificate for multiple server farm with different FQDN?

    SSL Certificate for cn=abc.com   considering abc.com as our major domain. now we have servers in this domain like    www.abc.com,   a.abc.com , b.abc.com etc. we installed the verisign certificate and configured ACE-20 accordingly for ssl-proxy and we will use same certificate gerated for abc.com for all servers like www.abc.com , a.abc.com , b.abc.com etc. Now when we are trying to access https//www..abc.com or https://a.abc.com through mozilla , we are able to access the service but we are getting this message in certfucate status " you are connected to abc.com which is run by unknown "
    And the same message when trying to access https://www.abc.com from Google Chrome.
    "This is probably not the site you are looking for! You attempted to reach www.abc.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as abc.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of adgate.kfu.edu.sa. You should not proceed"
    so i know as this certficate is for cn=abc.com that is why we are getting such errors/status in ssl certficate.
    Now my question is
    1. Is is possible to  remove above errors doing some ssl configuration on ACE?
    2. OR we have to go for VerisgnWildcard Secure Site Pro Certificate  for CSR generated uisng cn =abc.com to be installed on ACE  and will be used  for all servers like  www.abc.com , a.abc.com etc..
    Thanks
    Waliullah

    If you want to use the same VIP and port number for multiple FQDNs, then you will need to get a wildcard certificate.  Currently, if you enter www.abc.com in your browser, that is what the browser expects to see in the certificate.  And right now it won't beause your certificate is for abc.com.  You need a wildcard cert that will be for something like *.abc.com.
    Hope this helps,

  • Correct Download Location for WL Server 9.2 MP3 for windows 64-bit

    Can someone provide the correct location to get the installation media for 9.2.3?
    When I look at edelivery all I see are jar files, and I'm looking for an exe (for example server923_winX64.exe.zip)
    When I use KB 763603.1 BEA Release Archive to navigate to the patch p8211264_923_MSWIN-x86-64 indicates what I'm looking for, but the file in the zip file is server923_winia64.exe.
    thanks

    I know, what can try to do is contact Oracle support to see if there is a generic version available.
    What you also can try is download 64bit JDK (for example JRockit: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/jrockit/downloads/index.html)
    Install the JDK and then install weblogic, choose custom install type and after a couple of nexts you get the JDK selection screen in which
    you can add a local JDK. When you configure your domain you can select the 64bit JDK. Not sure if this is going to work!

  • The server farm account should not be used for other services

    I have created a new SharePoint Foundation 2013 Farm. I only used the Farm Configuration Wizard to create the Search Service Application, all other aspects of the Farm was created using PowerShell.
    The SharePoint Health Analyzer is reporting the following error:
    Title: The server farm account should not be used for other services.
    Severity: 1 - Error
    Category: Security
    Explanation: DOMAIN\FARM_ACCOUNT, the account used for the SharePoint timer service and the central administration site, is highly privileged and should not be used for any other services on any machines in the server farm.  The following services were
    found to use this account: Distributed Cache Service(Windows Service)
    Remedy: Browse to
    http://centraladminsite:port/_admin/FarmCredentialManagement.aspx and change the account used for the services listed in the explanation. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142685".
    Now I understand how to change the account used to run the Distributed Cache Service, but my query is what account should I use in the least privelage model? I have setup the following 6 accounts as per TechNet guidelines (Link)
    and am not sure if one of these accounts should be used or if another account is required:
    SQL Server service account
    Setup user account
    Server farm account
    SharePoint Server Search service account
    Default content access account
    Application pool identity
    After reviewing the TechNet article again, I don't fully understand the section titled "Service application accounts". Is the article advising me to create a seperate account for each row in the table? e.g. 1 account for Business Data Connectivity
    Service, a different account for "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service", another account for "App management" and another account for "Distributed Cache", so 4 extra accounts if I choose to install all of these services
    within the Farm?
    Also, what does the article mean when it says "Plan one set of an application pool and proxy group for each service application that you plan to implement."? How do I go about doing this?

    After reviewing the TechNet article again, I don't fully understand the section titled "Service application accounts". Is the article advising me to create a seperate account for each row in the table? e.g. 1 account for Business Data Connectivity Service,
    a different account for "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service", another account for "App management" and another account for "Distributed Cache", so 4 extra accounts if I choose to install all of these services within the Farm?
    Inder: Yes, It is suggested to have multiple service account for each service application. This increases security and dependencyof 1 account on multiple Service applications. Like below
    SQL Server service
    Local System account (default)
    Setup user
    Member of the Administrators group on the local computer
    Server farm
    Network Service (default)
    No manual configuration is necessary.
    SharePoint Server Search Service
    By default, this account runs as the Local System account.
    If you want to crawl remote content by changing the default content access account or by using crawl rules, change this to a domain user account. If you do not change this account to a domain user account, you cannot change the default content access account
    to a domain user account or add crawl rules to crawl this content. This restriction is designed to prevent elevation of privilege for any other process running as the Local System account.
    Default Content Access
    No manual configuration is necessary if this account is only crawling local farm content. If you want to crawl remote content by using crawl rules, change this to a domain user account, and apply the requirements listed for a server farm.
    Content Access
    Same requirement as the default content access account.
    Profile import Default Access
    Same requirements as server farm.
    Excel Services Unattended Service
    Must be a domain user account.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263445%28v=office.15%29.aspx
    Also, what does the article mean when it says "Plan one set of an application pool and proxy group for each service application that you plan to implement."? How do I go about doing this?
    Inder: Each service account has a application pool and you can plan to use same application pool for multiple
    service accounts if required. These application pool are then consumed by proxy connection
    of each service application. On service application pool, you can see all the service applications and its proxy connection.

  • Failed to detect if this server is joined to a server farm

    Hi,
    We run our intranet on a virtual server. the other day it crashed and we restored it from a previous point
    However when we launch the intranet we just get a an unexpected error has occurred. I am able to get into central admin but that's about it
    I though of maybe running the product config wizard but it get an error saying "failed to detect if this server is joined to a server farm. Possible reasons for this failure could be that you no longer have the appropriate permissions to the server
    farm, the database server hosting the server farm is in responsive, the configuration database is inaccessible or this server has been removed from the server farm"
    this is what the logs it tell you to look in says:

  • Failover between server farms

    Hi,
    I'm requesting advise on problem below :
    - I have 2 datacenter with one server farm on each DC and 5 servers behind each server farm
    - each server has 5k max connection limit on each server farm
    - I want to be able to be able to failover to one SF to another when max connection for the server farm reach 25k (that mean each of 5 servers has reached its max conn)
    Can I do that with partial-threshold ?
    in Cisco documentation it's stated : "
    Each time that a server is taken out of service (for example, using the CLI, a probe failure, or the retcode threshold is exceeded), the ACE is updated"
    Would max-conn exceed be equivalent to "out of service" ?
    thanks for any contribution
    cheers

    Hi,
    I beleive Cisco ACE platform because of H/w design will not do failover for partial-threshold when primary server farms servers reached "MAXCONN" state and partial-threshold trigger. you will observe connection drop in that condition.
    for your setup i will suggest to use simple backup server farm with no partial threshold. this work and when all the server in serverfarm are no longer usable (out of service or maxconn) back server farm will be activated.

  • JRockit_160_05_R27.6.2-20 can not get the correct os name for windows 2008

    JRockit_160_05_R27.6.2-20 can not get the correct os name for Windows Server 2008 SP1 using System.getProperty("os.name").
    System.getProperty("os.name") will return Windows Vista instead of Windows Server 2008 when running on Windows Server 2008 SP1. Is it a bug of this jdk?
    I tested it on Sun JDK 1.6. It returns the correct name Windows Server 2008.
    Any suggestion will be welcomed. Thanks in advanced!

  • How to properly load balance between diffrent server farms.

    Hi experts,
    We are using an ACE 4710. We chose for our server farms to load balance using the least_connections predictor. it seems to work fine inside the same server farm but is it working properly between server farms? It doesn't seem because some of my real servers seems to be more loaded than others. Each server farm are using the same real servers.
    Any idea about what is the problem or any suggestion regarding the best load balancing predictor we should use using this kind of configuration?
    Thank's to all.

    The ACE uses load-balancing algorithms or predictors to determine how to balance the traffic among the devices configured in the server farms, independent of the device type. For FWLB, we recommend that you use only the hash address source and the hash address destination predictors. Using any other predictor with FWLB may fail and block traffic, especially for applications that have separate control and data channels.
    Here is the configuration guide for the Cisco ACE 4700 Series Appliance Server Load-Balancing.

  • The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly

    I have a 2 server SharePoint farm.
    All outgoing emails were working fine.
    I just restarted both servers and now after that none of the emails are being sent. I am using OOB publishing workflow and it shows message:
    The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
    Even if I setup Alert on some list, it doesn't send email.
    I have checked that outgoing email setting in CA is defined and like I said it was working fine without problems but after restart it is showing error.
    What could be the cause of this and how to fix it?
    EDIT
    I removed outgoing mail server in CA, added again and restart IIS but still emails from OOB workflow is not being sent. But email from Alerts are being sent. Don't know what to do now.

    This is really weird, It works when an alert is set but workflows doesn't send emails... Can you create a simple 1 Step workflow in SPD to send an email when a specific field is set. See if this sends an email..
    AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY
    I created a test workflow which sends email to user and it is also not sending email. But I am getting email from SharePoint regarding "variation" page changes as well as alerts which I told above.

  • Do you need an additional slot for the RBS and does the RBS count as an additional hard drive in the Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?

    Hello Community
        If you have a clustered Sharepoint 2013 Server farm running RAID 10, on a
    clustered WS2012 R2 server that has 10 hard drive slots:
            (4) drives being part of the Sharepoint 2013 Server farm
            (1) drive for the Web App Server
            (5) are for hot swap if any of the production hard drives fail
        The question(s) is:
            - If the server only has 10 slots for hard drives are you still allowed to add a
    NAS/RBS drive and does the NAS/RBS drive get clustered also, or does this scenario require
    reducing the RAID level down to RAID 5 to allow for NAS/RBS hard drive?
            - Does the NAS/RBS hard drive need a hard drive for hot swap?
            - Does the NAS/RBS drive have to have Sharepoint 2013 Server or WS2012 R2 running on it?
            - Does the Web App Server have Sharepoint 2013 running or just WS2012 R2 running on it?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    RAID 10 requires a minimum of 4 hard drives. The LUN for RBS must be attached to the SQL Server, not SharePoint server, as a local drive. You just need to be running the minimum required OS for the version of SQL Server you're using.
    Do you mean Office Web Apps by "Web App Server"? If so, that cannot have SharePoint installed on it. Otherwise, if you're just referring to it as another SharePoint server, yes it would have SharePoint installed on it.

  • Best practice for licence server for RDS Farm & Certificate errors

    Hello,
    I am in the process of creating an RDS farm using Server 2008 R2.  I have three Session Hosts and a Connection Broker.
    I have a set of 10 user CALs available and also another 20 on our current RDS server which will need migrating once we go live with the farm.
    I understand the User CALs need to be installed on another Server 2008 R2 and I am wondering what is best practice.  We are running on an entirely virtual environment and it would be simple enough to create another server and install the CALs on there. 
    The only issue with that is that I would need to create a replica of this new machine for DR purposes, but this would take up valuable space which may not be necessary.
    We are planning on creating replicas of one of the Session hosts and the broker for DR, so I am guessing I would need to install some CALs on the Session Host which is going to be replicated.
    There are a few options and I am just wondering what is the best way to go about things.
    Also, as an aside, I am getting an annoying certificate error each time I log a test user onto the RDS farm - I think this is because I am using the DNS alias of the RDS Farm to log on. Is there an easy way to get around this, other than the 'Do not show
    this message again'. I have been doing some research and the world of Certificates is very confusing!!
    Thanks,
    Caroline
    C.Rafferty

    Hi Caroline,
    Firstly for your License related issue, you can perform the step on any VM or can create the new VM as replica for RDSH server also. But please be sure that you have installed RD License server on it, activate it and then install RDS CAL on it. But be safe
    if possible don’t install RD License server with RDCB, please make that out of it as little away. As you can also install RD License server with AD or make replica of that and install RDL on that.

    What’s the specified certificate error which you are receiving?
    If you're going to allow users to connect externally and they will not be part of your domain, you would need to deploy certificates from a public CA. In meantime you can refer blog for getting insight for certificate case.

  • The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.

    Hi,
    I have SP 2013, and it was working properly. and workflows send emails perfectly. yesterday, i decided to build a fresh site collection so i deleted the old one and created a new one. now, workflows are unable to send emails. i'm sure it has nothing to do
    with my mail server cuz no changes happened to it. i'm sure about the settings for outgoing mail on central admin. all i did, was to enter mail server IP in outgoing mail field and email below it.
    in the workflow status the status says "error" followed by this message: "The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly."
    Any help please?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to send email after building a fresh site collection.
    I recommend to verify that you have entered your SMTP server name correctly.
    You can add it as FQDN e.g. ServerName.DomainName.

    Not alone with problems on "Mail" app server connection, iMap!!!!  I believe Apple is strengthening their server farm.  Has been out for over a week; they were wise to have the iCloud also in the cloud.  Be patient!

    Have you considered the possibility that the third party fan software might itself be implicated in the issue, theosib (or perhaps something else introduced at about that time?).
    My inclination in a situation like this would be to back up your drive to an external, wipe the drive, and do a clean installation. At the very least I'd try an archive and install.
    Do you have plenty of free space on the drive? Once you get things down below the last 10 to 20% things can get hairy at times, and may not be fixed as a result of simply freeing up some room, as free space fragmentation is likely to have set in.
    As far as RAM goes, either "Rember" - http://www.kelleycomputing.net:16080/rember/ or, better still, but less user friendly, "memtest" - http://www.memtestosx.org/ does a much better job of checking your RAM than the AHT. Still takes a while to run for a thorough test, but much quicker than the approach you are planning on using.
    You might also want to use "Activity Monitor" to check for any applications with progressive "memory leaks" or that are acting as CPU hogs, given your symptoms
    Cheers
